CL

Tonight at 20.15 CET it's time for the first final between Niederösterreisch, Austria, and Charleroi, Belgium.

Charleroi and Niederosterreich have met each other three times before in the finals of CL and every time the belgians have won. Charleroi have five titles compared with Niederösterreich who have lost five finals before this one.

So history tells us that Charleroi will win this game. But it's never that easy to predict a close match like this.

Charlerois line up will probably be theire three aces:
Samsonov, 14-1, #4
Saive, 8-1, #8
Smirnov, 7-2, #28

Niederosterreich will give us the following line up:
Schlager, 10-3, #16
Ryu Seung Min, 7-3, #8
Chen Weixing, 6-1, #31

I think it will be a very close contest who wins but if Samsonov is in form and plays as well as he been doing this year Charleroi will be very hard to beat. But I do remember that Schlager recently beat Samsonov in the European top 12 contest in the finals.

I think Niederösterreich will win the first leg by 3-2 against Charleroi. But if Saive plays as second player and not third I think Charleroi will have a better chance to win.
